Diabetes and Obesity Consortium (DOC) Legs for Life Campaign Overview

During the past two plus decades, the International Society on Hypertension in Blacks (ISHIB) has been serving ethnic minority populations to reduce the disease burden of hypertension and cardiovascular related risk factors. In this time, ISHIB has learned that cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors often occur together. Furthermore, diabetes is a significant contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in ethnic minority and other underserved populations.
